Foundations: Coiling
What this drill helps fix
Helps you understand what a coil really is: a small turn into your back hip as you load, not a sway back or a sink into your back knee.
Coach Steve cue
Coil is a turn, not a slide. Turn into your back hip and stay balanced.
Why fixing this matters
Every good swing starts with a coil. That small turn gets you loaded and ready to swing while keeping you balanced enough to adjust to the pitch.
